To all'fwhom it may concern."

Beit known that I, FRANK S. WEYRs, a

i citizen of thev United States, residing at "Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and

State of Pennsylvania, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in Telephone Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

, forth and then specifically designated by the claim.

In order that which invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, I will de-l scribe its construction in detail, referring by characters to the accompanying drawing forming a part of .this specification, in which- Figure l 'is a side elevation of a telephone instrument sliowing my improved receiver support applied thereto. Fig. -2, a front view thereof.,` Fig. 3, a detail section showing a sliglhtmodication ofthe arrange` 4 -tothe ear by asingle movement andthere-sup ment of t e switch spring.

Referring'i-to 'the drawings; 1

. ceiver hook 3.

adapted to connected with said stand 7, whereby the stand 'can accommodate various. sized bases .4, the adjustment of the parts being accomplished by means of a set screw' a.

10-designates the receiver of the those skilled in the art to designates a' telephone having a mouth piece 2 and re telephonel f which is connected with suitable wires or conductors as'fusual and which is sup orted' by means ofa'rod 11, said rod being orm'edf v in any manner and in' thefdrawings is tele,-v

adapted to scoped with respect to another rod 12 which vis pivotedas at 13 to thecross'a'rm 9,1 Which in turn is pivoted to thesecond cross arm b, the latter eing pivoted tothe rod d which is pivoted to a suitable portion vof the base at c,

said rod d having an offset 13 which is connected' in any suitable manner with the receiver hook 3, in the present instance by meansA of a coil spring 14, so that when the receiver 10 is raised for use this movement elevates the 4end ofthe offset 13 and permits the receiver hook 3 to rise and thus make the I central connection, as usual. The receiver will thus be in suitable'position for the ear ofA 'the user and the circuit will be closed and the user 'will have both hands free for use if y desired.

The rod d where it' is pivoted. at c to the base has located on each side of it a rubber or other compressible washerv A, -and these- Washers act to permit the rod'to be drawn to one ,side or the other s othat the receiver may be used to therght or left ear of the operator, and they also serve tofprevent any rattle or metallic sound atthispoint. The rod d is made in two sections telescopirne,`

together and held in any adjustment by the set screw B, which further facilitates the adjusting of the receiver f'or use by either ear. My invention will greatly facilitate the taking and sending of messages in a busy cnice, since the operator need not get up to answer the phone since when the once been adjusted it may be quickly drawn of the hand orted until the messagehas been taken orv elivered, and then'Y returned to.

its usual position.
